Ellison's Invisible Man tells the experiences of a young black in search of his cultural identity in American society in the first half of the 20th century. Because of the racial discrimination, tangible or intangible, his efforts were hindered every now and then and he was often baffled, not knowing "who he was". His confusion reflects the serious situation in which the American blacks were involved. His endeavors also suggest the American blacks' dream of establishing themselves in the society.
